yes, I solder the cable with silver argentium hard wire first, apply heatshrink, put inside the plastic pen tube, then fill with epoxy...

Nice.

Really nice work! You gave me good starting point to my diy work. Why did you use only the blue conductors? Just for aesthetic reason?

How about these cables for iem?: http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=1149  or http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=536
I guess the thinner cable is better for this pourpose but I'm not sure.

no specific reason, just like the color, blue is my fav...

What gauge of wire should I use to make my own headphone cable?
 
I'm going to be using FTWPC sleeving from here: http://ftwpc.com/cables-and-sleeving/ftw-sleeve/ftw-sleeve-small-v2-0-black.html
Each individual wire will get its own sleeve.

Please search around a bit to get a consensus.  We are a helpful and supportive bunch, but you really should put in some work to find the answer.  It will make the hobby more fun as you decide what to go with.

That FTWPC stuff looks like it'll stiffen any cable!  ...and looks Microphonic to boot.  I'd consider multi-filament, it's SOFT!

I've tried it, and yeah, it is rather stiff, and very microphonic... I'd reccomend Nylon Multi-Filament or Paracord also.

As a quick reminder, the DIY Cable FAQ is available in the articles section of Head-Fi.

We try to keep it useful both for experienced cable builders as a reference for common pinouts, and for raw newbies who need to know what equipment to get.

Updates have been sparse over the past year because pingupenguins and I have both been busy, but if you have any particular questions you think is worth adding to the FAQ, feel free to PM me about it; if you have information that would be useful for the FAQ, dive right in and edit the thing!

And the efforts are quite appreciated.  would have been so nice to have when i first started.  im working on a visual guide to nearly all the pinouts you could want.  but itis slow going since i am learning Illustrator at the same time.

Just changed the cable on my HA-S600. The stock cable was so flmisy and plasticy i felt sorry for it..Even worse quality then the new porta pro cable. 
 
Neutrik NTP3RCB connector that fits snugg on my phone or sansa clip+, overall im pleased with the result. Neutrik connectors is a charm to work with.
